Raj Niwas

Raj Niwas is the official residence of the governor in Indian states. It serves as both their home and administrative headquarters, where official functions, ceremonies, and meetings are held. Typically, it is a grand building located in the state capital, symbolizing the authority and dignity of the governor’s office. While most Raj Niwas are stately and historic, they also function as centers for state government protocol and diplomacy. Essentially, it's the official space that represents the state's head of state at the regional level.
